Kruger, Moser, Miller … and other bites to chew on

When I woke Monday, there were 381 messages in my email box. Too many. For 2014, I have resolved to keep it under 100. So, straight from my email box:

Bengals bettors done in by Dalton’s dismal day

Instead of finding another way to cough up a big game, the San Diego Chargers ran into an opponent who was better at choking. No need to perform the Heimlich maneuver on Philip Rivers this time.

Backdoor left open, so Falcons storm through

Until Saturday night, when they left the backdoor open and lost to Princeton West at home, it had been going pretty well for the Rebels. The basketball Rebels.

Wise Dan, trainer Lopresti top picks for Eclipse Awards

The highest honor to win in horse racing is an Eclipse Award. The industry has been giving out these equine statuettes since 1971. I’ve had the privilege of being an Eclipse voter for 15 years and do not take it lightly.

The first tear slid slowly down his right cheek, unhurried in its progress as if every speck of skin should absorb its purpose. The connection between losing and UNLV football was accepted for so long, unfeigned emotion following a defeat had over time become indiscernible.

During its coverage of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, NBC fed American viewers a steady diet of beach volleyball, sprinkled with periodic coverage of indoor volleyball to provide us with variety. On the network’s cable feed, however, the archery competition took top honors for viewership.

Schumacher accident doesn’t add up

The great Michael Schumacher, fighting for life, because of a skiing accident? That doesn’t add up. He even was wearing a helmet.

‘Crazy’ coach instills belief in North Texas

North Texas head coach Dan McCarney is 60, and in a 14-month span in 2012 and 2013, he suffered a major stroke and underwent quadruple bypass surgery but returned to work five days after the latter procedure. That’s him. Tough as nails and a little wacko.
